PHARMAC will change the way it makes funding decisions from late next year.

Its nine Decision Criteria will be replaced by 15 Factors for Consideration.

The change will occur in late 2015 once PHARMAC is certain that people understand the new Factors and how they will be used. The changes follow an extensive public consultation process during 2013 and 2014.
